God is no different.
What does He expect of me?
What I thought He expected...
Perfection.
That word sums it up.
If I lived my life perfectly...
Read my Bible every day
Listen to only Christian Music
Don't drink...don't smoke...
Fit in the mold of "Christianity".
Be the perfect Christian...woman...wife...mother....
Well, I wasn't. Not by a long shot. I failed. Pretty publicly too.
I was putting the cart before the horse.
What does the Lord require?
Micah 6:8Amplified Bible (AMP)8 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?
Matthew 22:37-39Amplified Bible (AMP)37 And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect).38 This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.
Love Him...That's what He requires of us. That's what He wants. Us to love Him.
I don't have to worry about being anything or anyone, just love Him.
Everything else will fall into place.
